  • ENGLISH EXPRESSIONS in GHANA's PARLIAMENT Halimatu
    International Journal of English Language and Linguistics Research Vol.5, No.3, pp. 49-63, June 2017 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) ENGLISH EXPRESSIONS IN GHANA’S PARLIAMENT Halimatu Sardia Jibril and Nana Yaw Ofori Gyasi Accra College of Education, Accra Koforidua Technical University, Koforidua ABSTRACT: This paper takes a look at the English language spoken on the floor of parliament by Ghanaian parliamentarians. It attempts to ascertain the English features of Ghanaian parliamentarians and whether the identified features can be described as Ghanaian English. The study was guided by the syntactic features given as typical of WAVE (Bokamba, 1991) and the grammatical description of African Englishes (Schmied, 1991) and a careful reading of the Hansard which is the daily official report of parliamentary proceeding. It is revealed that the English spoken by Ghanaian parliamentarians has identifiable Ghanaian features that can support the claim that their English is typically Ghanaian. KEYWORDS: Ghanaian English, Expression, Language, Parliament, Hansard INTRODUCTION From the discussions over the last two decades, English is now the world’s language. It plays very useful roles in the lives of people and nations across the world. Studies have shown that English is the most commonly spoken and taught foreign language in the world today. In every country in the world recently, English is at least used by some people among the population for some purposes. It is interesting to note that English is a very important language in Francophone West Africa such as Togo (Awuku, 2015); it plays a major role in the Middle East such as Kuwait (Dashti, 2015); and some companies in Japan have adopted English as an in-house lingua franca (Inagawa, 2015).

  • Was the Gold Coast 'Decolonised' Or Did Ghana Win Its Independence?
    Was the Gold Coast ‘decolonised’ or did Ghana win its independence? A resource for Key Stage 4 Key words: Empire, Liberty, Government, Ideas, Role of individuals in encouraging change, Africa, independence, decolonisation, nationalism, Ghana, Nkrumah In 1957 the British colony of the Gold Coast became the independent nation of Ghana. Did Britain grant Ghanaian independence or was this the result of the actions of Ghanaian nationalists, led by Kwame Nkrumah? Many historians see the post-World War Two period as one of British retreat from its empire. Britain was economically weakened and in debt to the United States, which opposed continued European colonialism. Although India achieved independence in 1947, Britain initially sought to compensate for the loss of its Asian colonies with increased economic intervention in its African ones: it also trained a new generation of African civil servants to replace their British counterparts. This has been characterised as a ‘second colonial occupation’. Influenced by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the new United Nations, Britain was committed to decolonisation when African colonies were ready to rule themselves, but this was commonly imagined as taking 20, 30 or even 50 years. Meanwhile, a new generation of African nationalists wanted to mobilise a mass movement against colonialism, criticising older African political leaders who sought reform within colonialism rather than its overthrow. Kwame Nkrumah, who returned from studies in the US and Britain to the Gold Coast in 1947, supported protests by poverty- stricken ex-soldiers who had fought for Britain in WWII. In February 1948, these demonstrators were fired upon by British troops and riots broke out across the territory.

Larson This dissertation examined the state of senior high school (SHS) music and dance education in the context of a growing economy and current socio-cultural transitions in Ghana. The research analyzed the experience of educational administrators, teachers, and students. Educational administrators included professionals at educational organizations and institutions, government officials, and professors at universities in Ghana. Teachers and students were primarily from five SHSs, across varying socioeconomic strata in the Ashanti Region, the Central Region, and the Greater Accra Region. The study employed ethnographic and multiple case study approaches. The research incorporated the data collection techniques of archival document review, focus group, interview, observation, and participant observation. Four interrelated theoretical perspectives informed the research: interdisciplinary African arts theory, leadership and organizational theory, post- colonial theory, and qualitative educational methods’ perspectives.

  • A Rhetorical Analysis of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's Independence Speech
    New Media and Mass Communication www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3267 (Paper) ISSN 2224-3275 (Online) Vol.43, 2015 A Rhetorical Analysis of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s Independence Speech Abena Abokoma Asemanyi Anita Brenda Alofah Department of Communication and Media Studies, University of Education, Winneba, P.O. Box 25, Winneba, Central Region, Ghana Abstract The study examines the role of rhetoric in the famous Independence Speech given by the first president of the Republic of Ghana, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah at Old Polo Grounds, Accra, Ghana on 6 th March, 1957 when Ghana won independence from the British rule. Through a rhetorical analysis and specifically using the cannons of rhetoric and the means of persuasion, the study finds that; first, the speech adopts the elements of rhetoric to inform, encourage and persuade its audiences.; second, the speech is endowed with the richness that the five canons of rhetoric afford. The study reveals that the powerful diction and expressions embedded in the speech follow a rather careful arrangement meant to achieve the objective of rhetoric; third, the speaker adopted the three means of persuasion, namely: ethos, pathos and logos, to drive home the objective of his argument. The findings agree with Ghanaian Agenda’s assertion of the speech as one of the greatest ever written and delivered in Ghanaian geo-politics and rhetorical history. The study concludes that the 1957 Independence Speech by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah owes its world-wide garnered attention to the power of rhetoric, owing to the fact that it affords the speech the craft of carefully laid out rhetorical constructions and principles and hence making the speech a powerful work of rhetoric.

  • International Tropical Timber Organization Project
    INTERNATIONAL TROPICAL TIMBER ORGANIZATION ITTO PROJECT PROPOSAL TITLE: COMMUNITY FOREST LANDSCAPES AND SMALL ENTERPRISES CONTRIBUTING TO LEGAL TIMBER TRADE IN GHANA SERIAL NUMBER: PD 791/15 Rev.3 (M) COMMITTEE: ECONOMICS, STATISTICS AND MARKETS SUBMITTED BY: GOVERNMENT OF GHANA ORIGINAL LANGUAGE: ENGLISH SUMMARY: The overall objective of this project is to increase the availability and sources of legally sourced timber on the domestic market of Ghana. This will be achieved through the establishment of legal timber supply chain from community landscapes. At project completion, these landscapes would be established as additional legal sources of timber. Small-scale producers will also demonstrate understanding of the standards covering chain of custody and wood tracking by documenting and implementing procedures to comply with legal timber trade requirements. The capacity of the Kumasi Wood Cluster Association (KWC) (a certification system service provider) and the National Forest Forum Ghana (NFF- G) will be enhanced to better offer technical support to small-scale community producers towards legal timber trade in Ghana. Approaches to achieve this includes capacity building of communities to develop systems and agreements that provide incentives and security of tenure; capacity building of small-scale producers to develop appropriate chain of custody systems will contribute to value chain development from the community landscapes to the market. KWC will also continue to offer technical support to small-scale producers to comply with legality requirements, while NFF-G will be the platform to discussing forest governance issues that may affect legal timber trade.
